Alrighty so I'm not a great blogger but I promised a couple people I would try to do better! So far all I have to report is that I made enough laundry soap today to last SIX months. All for only $1.19 per gallon (according to Heather and Joseph Pratt who actually did the math). It only took about two hours. Here is the recipe!

Combine grated soap in the pot with a little water. Cook on
medium heat, stirring constantly until soap is melted and there are very few lumps. Put 2 1/2
gallons very hot water in the 5 gallon bucket and add melted soap, mix very
well. Stir in borax and washing soda, mix well then add glycerin and mix
well.I like to add some Scentsy washer
whiffs to mine, it smells pretty. I use 2 caps full per batch. You may have some
lumps don't worry about those as long as they are not huge. Use 1/2 cup per
large washer load. SHAKE WELL before using.
